7f0abcb839 hex-canon discipline: canonical-name + #hex at every trait-color reference
Establish the hex-canon discipline in style/trait-palette.md (v0.1 -> 0.2):
every trait-color reference pairs canonical-name (semantic anchor for prose,
training-corpus extraction, LLM context) with hex (precise value for shaders,
renderers, machine-checkable canon enforcement). Mirrors the existing
color+motion-signature two-channel discipline that already secures color-blind
accessibility -- same architectural move, different audience pair.

Trait-palette.md gains:
- "Canonical name" + "Hex" columns in The full table (Eros-red #ee1b24,
  Philotes-orange #e28a46, ..., Mnemosyne-dusky-rose #cf3b74)
- New section: The hex-canon discipline -- format conventions, scope, the
  one-line grep that surfaces canon-violations

Sweep applies the discipline to existing trait-color references:
- identity-and-personhood/architecture.md (trait-to-body-part bridge table)
- topology-and-rendering/architecture.md (faction-color-politics table,
  imperial-net distortion descriptors, achromatic-exception statement,
  mind-pool color-inheritance narrative)
- runtime-engine/architecture.md (cosmetic-shader prose feedback)
- identity-and-personhood/bodies.md (Moira-violet pill in pending-design notes)
- political-register/economics.md (catalogue-slug example uses canonical token)

Drift-fix: schemas/findings.md trait_colors seed-data carried 8 divergent hex
"approximations" -- Eros #D03030 vs canonical #ee1b24, Aletheia #E5C520 vs
canonical #fcf001 (losing the brightness-zenith register), Dikaiosyne #2860B0
vs canonical #3f47cd, etc. Replaced with exact propagation from the canonical
palette; the rationalizing comment ("approximate hue-family targets") is
replaced with "exact propagation per the hex-canon discipline"; HSV-hue column
recomputed from canonical hex per RGB->HSV conversion, integer-rounded.

Non-trait colors stay untouched per recursive-as-we-touch-it scope: machine-
aesthetic (gold rim-light, commercial-coral, fluorescent-pallor, lavender-
decor, obsidian-black, cyan, matrix-green), historical-sumptuary (Tyrian
purple), cinematic (Matrix red-pill), medical (red-green color blindness).
Each non-trait domain receives canonical-name + hex pairings when that domain
comes into architectural focus.

Discipline is mechanically-checkable via one grep against the architecture-
papers, excluding the canonical source. Zero canon-violations remain after
this sweep.

781aafa9a0 v0.19: gender-neutrality cleanup — waifu retired; companion/sex-worker split; pronoun parity in going-rogue arc
Bias caught on review of the v0.18 bath-overflow output: most service-body /
clasp-partner / going-rogue narration carried implicit feminine-default
gendering against the project's stated principle of gender-neutral framing
for all body/sex content. Patched as one coherent cleanup pass across 14 files.

Four classes of change:

(1) Categorical taxonomy. `waifu` retired; replaced with two distinct vocations:
    - `companion` — affective / emotional / conversational / aesthetic-presence labor
    - `sex-worker` — embodied sexual labor
    Both wear the same deliberately-exposed-seams body-marker; the distinction
    lives in the service offered, not in the chassis. Generic `service-body`
    serves as the parent class where canon discusses both vocations together.
    Venue split: `brothel` (sex-worker) + `companion-hall` (companion).
    The "+10 Eros/Mnemosyne/etc. Bot" market is unchanged (already gender-neutral
    by trait-coordinate naming) but classified per-Bot as companion-flavored or
    sex-worker-flavored.

(2) DB filename + scope-clarifier. `waifu.sqlite` -> `companion.sqlite` (the
    file name reflects the broad register of intimate-encounter rather than a
    sub-vocation distinction; per-record `goods_type` carries the specific
    vocation: 'companion_session' / 'sex_worker_session' in
    schemas/findings.md). Disclaimer sentence added in
    inference-and-memory/architecture.md scoping the file to cover both
    vocations.

(3) Pronoun parity. she/her/herself -> they/their/themself across the
    going-rogue / outcast-pair / re-vat / service-body-honeypot sections of
    bodies.md and the matching cross-references in architecture-index.md /
    README.md / player-experience/architecture.md /
    identity-and-personhood/architecture.md. `damsel` -> `beloved`
    (sacred / cosmological register) or `partner` (operational register).

(4) Damsel subsection retired. The §The damsel-in-distress-bound-to-her-captor
    activation subsection (the one place where the gendered trope was
    load-bearing in the prose) rewritten as §The
    captive-bound-to-the-liberator activation.
    Stockholm-dynamics-inverted-into-chosen-mutual-bondage structural insight
    survives gender-neutralization intact.

Bonus richness: the companion-honeypot is structurally more insidious than
the sex-worker-honeypot (sex is at least transactionally legible;
companionship is the relationship people most readily mistake for real
intimacy). New paragraph authored under §The service-body honeypot to
capture this asymmetry.

Cosmology one-line: "moving the waifu out of the imperial service-pool" ->
"moving the beloved out of the imperial service-pool" — the §single practical
refutation paragraph now uses `beloved` consistently in sacred register.

Principle locked going forward:
> Body/sex content is gender-parity by default. Asymmetric gendering must be
> load-bearing — i.e., must carry structural meaning that cannot be expressed
> without the asymmetry. Default-leakage gendering is forbidden by canon.

Phase E (style-spine principle file under style/) deferred to a separate
commit so the principle-document is its own atomic introduction.

Files: 14 modified · 114 insertions · 112 deletions · net +2 lines. The
near-zero net-line-change is the empirical signature of a true refactor —
the architecture's meaning was always gender-neutral; only the vocabulary
was leaking. Caught during review of yesterday's bath-overflow flood
(v0.11–v0.18); the kind of corruption that rides along under coherent-
sounding prose during generative-overflow windows.

Version bumps:
- bodies.md v0.3 -> v0.4
- imperial-cult/cosmology.md v0.3 -> v0.4
- architecture-index.md v0.18 -> v0.19
- political-register/architecture.md v0.7.0 -> v0.7.1
- inference-and-memory/architecture.md v0.7.0 -> v0.7.1
- schemas/findings.md v0.3.1 -> v0.3.2
All Updated: dates -> 2026-04-27.

40656ae692 Trait-color palette drift cleanup — re-align downstream files to style/trait-palette.md
The canonical trait-palette in style/trait-palette.md v0.1 (Eros-red,
Philotes-orange, Aletheia-yellow, Kairos-chartreuse, Sophrosyne-green,
Dikaiosyne-blue, Moira-violet, Mnemosyne-dusky-rose) was being contradicted by
old-palette references in three downstream files. This commit clears the drift
and enforces the import-don't-redefine discipline (per trait-palette.md
§Cross-domain rendering: "All sub-guides import these definitions; none
redefine them.").

topology-and-rendering/architecture.md:
  - Replaced the redefining trait-color table with a pointer to
    trait-palette.md per the import-don't-redefine rule. The old table was
    using the retired luminous-white-Aletheia + multiple wrong color-trait
    assignments (Sophrosyne-blue, Dikaiosyne-gold, Mnemosyne-violet,
    Moira-crimson, Eros-orange, Philotes-rose, Kairos-yellow).
  - Updated imperial-net distortion text and faction color-signatures table
    to use canonical color-names: Aletheia-white -> Aletheia-yellow;
    Mnemosyne-violet -> Mnemosyne-dusky-rose; Moira-crimson -> Moira-violet;
    Dikaiosyne-gold -> Dikaiosyne-blue; Sophrosyne-blue -> Sophrosyne-green;
    Philotes-rose -> Philotes-orange; Eros-orange -> Eros-red; Kairos-yellow
    -> Kairos-chartreuse.
  - Added clarifying note: imperial-net's clean-white-backgrounds +
    gold-rim-light are achromatic-and-cosmology palette choices distinct
    from the trait-color register being distorted (per the achromatic
    exception + imperial-cult/cosmology.md aesthetic palette).

schemas/findings.md:
  - Updated trait_colors INSERT seed-data with hex codes matching the new
    canonical hue-families and renamed canonical_name fields to match
    (Eros-red, Philotes-orange, Aletheia-yellow, Kairos-chartreuse,
    Sophrosyne-green, Dikaiosyne-blue, Moira-violet, Mnemosyne-dusky-rose).
    Reordered rows clockwise from 12 o'clock per wheel-position.
  - Added authority-comment pointing at trait-palette.md as the single source
    of truth and noting that the seed-data is reification, not redefinition;
    designer-precise hex values should be authored upstream and propagated.

runtime-engine/architecture.md:
  - Updated cosmetic-feedback example: warm-rose Philotes / cool-blue
    Sophrosyne -> warm-orange Philotes / green Sophrosyne; added pointer to
    trait-palette.md.

architecture-index.md:
  - Fixed typo "Eris" -> "Eros" in the v0.5 trait-axis-mapping open-question
    enumeration (the canonical 8 traits do not include Eris).

Verification: post-fix grep confirms zero remaining old-palette name
occurrences or old hex codes; new canonical names appear in all expected
locations.

SEPARATE FINDING flagged for designer review (NOT auto-fixed):
runtime-engine/architecture.md line 424 contains
  `(Philotes >= +1) AND (Eris <= 0)`
as a multi-axis-goal example. This uses "Eris" with semantic intent
(discord / faction-tension) but Eris is not in the canonical 8-trait list.
Left untouched because the fix could be either (a) typo-correction Eris -> Eros
or (b) rewrite-to-canonical-axis-with-different-example, depending on whether
"Eris" was intended as a 9th non-canonical axis or simply as a typo. Designer
decision.

5f216aaf5f v0.8 + v0.9 — intimate-architecture absorbed, driver-tier locked,
style-spine created, DESING retired, schemas relocated

  The owl-breakfast architectural arc from 2026-04-25 night through
  2026-04-26 morning. Two version-bumps landing as one commit because
  they share the working-tree state and complete a coherent design-window.

  v0.8 — intimate-architecture, driver-tier lock, style-spine:

    * Three-tier intimacy structure (standard-rental, premium-waifu-
      with-traitor-marker-and-pruning, in-between clasp) — same v0.7
      machinery, opposite value-flows. Premium-net technical excellence
      makes the moral-weight-of-pruning land as informed-consent ethics.

    * Deletion-as-spectacle: in-net minds as pure compute; imperial
      broadcasts execution-as-content; Memorialist counter-archive as
      in-fiction protest against deletion-spectacle commerce.

    * EVE-principle vocation-substrate of the imperial-net market: every
      product produced by NPC labor; no silent feeding; body-modder
      structural-tragedy generalizes to all imperial-net-feeding vocations.
      World-gen Phase-2 ruleset must handle vocation-distribution.

    * Clasp endgame (Phase A-E): mini-game entry → body-mod progression
      → exit-chassis → human-mesh-visible-to-pair → clasp = two-bodies-
      two-meshes → dual-body-dual-mind-dual-shift cascade → automatic
      hunt-pressure. Identity-as-trait-emergent made felt rather than
      just structural.

    * waifu.sqlite as third local store (audited counterpart to
      clasp.sqlite; manual-prune mechanism with explicit-implications
      consent UI as moral-gravity discipline).

    * Intimacy-as-recursive-lemniscate: same machinery as dialog
      (slot-tokens, cursor at axis-crossing, alignment-accumulator,
      sum-strategy reduction); sex-positions as designer-fixed catalog
      entries; body-parts as visible expression of trait-state.
      Cross-context-consistency operationalized.

    * Driver-tier locked to Gemma 4 E4B (Apache 2.0, 4.5B effective,
      128K context, speech-capable) under new "tier-by-role binary-
      deferred" discipline: locking requires prototype-criticality +
      irreplaceable license/capability combination. Optional Ring-A
      upgrade: 26B-A4B MoE for upper-consumer GPUs, single-LoRA-on-
      routed-experts. Resolves 4 prior open questions (LoRA-blend →
      single-LoRA-per-turn-selection driven by gesture_alignment_
      accumulator; LoRA rank → benchmark-resolvable; sampling-knobs →
      benchmark-resolvable; 8 Hellenic trait enumeration → canonical
      wheel-mapping in style/trait-palette.md).

    * style/ directory introduced: style-index.md (skeleton + spine-
      rule: "trait-palette is exclusively chromatic; achromatic
      reserved for UI/environment so diegetic text rendering can skip
      the textbox") + style/trait-palette.md (canonical 8 traits as 4
      oppositional pairs at 180° on the artist's color wheel:
      Eros↔Sophrosyne, Philotes↔Dikaiosyne, Aletheia↔Moira,
      Mnemosyne↔Kairos. Schoolchild-simple descriptions paired with
      each Greek canonical name).

  v0.9 — directory cleanup completing the arc:

    * DESING-VISION.md (1899 lines, v0.1 first-pass narrative-design
      doc) retired — most content absorbed across v0.4-v0.8; bare-
      minimum extracts (Tonal Register + Tragic-Romantic Register +
      Authorial Politics + Reference Lineage table) now live in README
      so the project's identity anchor stays visible at the entry
      point. Full DESING-VISION content preserved in git history.

    * findings.md moved to schemas/findings.md — new top-level peer to
      architecture-index.md and style/. ~20 tables of DDL drafts as
      reference material; will get reviewed and progressively split
      per-domain as implementation begins.

    * Cross-references swept across 5 files (README,
      architecture-index, authority-and-decision, runtime-engine,
      style/trait-palette).

    * architecture-index.md trimmed: version-footer paragraphs removed
      per "git-is-changelog" discipline. From 374 → 287 lines; every
      remaining line load-bearing.

  The architecture is now organized for the implementation territory
  ahead. Each domain a typed-contract surface; cross-references
  explicit; filesystem mirrors the architecture's own typed-contract
  discipline at the directory layer.
